I’m excited to announce that the 3rd edition of “Effective C#” is coming out this month. Just in time for a Christmas gift for that developer on your list. Who wouldn't want to be effective?

The 2nd edition was profoundly affective, so I read it a second time. No wonder they call it "Effective C#."

We frequently encounter organizations where DevOps and Continuous Integration are anathema to many within, are considered overhyped buzzwords from consultants and vendors or, most frequently, simply do not apply to their organization in meaningful way. We'll follow this up with "Overcoming DevOps adoption"

Microsoft PowerShell is becoming a haven for malicious code, with a 95.4 per cent rise in malware instances, according to Symantec. If you lock them out of using BAT files, what do you expect them to do?

The Inquirer: MICROSOFT POWERSHELL is becoming a haven for malicious code, with a 95.4 per cent rise in malware instances, according to Symantec
Within the first sentence the title of this article is proven to be click-bait by recasting a trending rise into a total instance.
Further reading shows that the author likely doesn't know what Powershell is or what it does.
I'm a bit disappointed: what business did this drek have in my morning news?
Still nothing but love, Kent.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

IT managers in UK organizations believe their senior leaders are intentionally holding back the adoption of new technologies, as they fear that could endanger their position within the company. Those still running Visual Studio 2003 already know this

...or they worry that new technologies introduce unnecessary complexity, may be untested, may be ephemeral trends that will fade away leaving them with unloved legacy, or, maybe, provide no real improvement to profitability or any return on the investment needed to upgrade?
(or is that just me being cynical about consultants who love to push the bleeding edge?)
